Cookies & Cream Protein Balls recipe is an easy to make snack that is high in protein.
I love to make protein balls because they only take about 10 minutes to throw together, I only need 1 bowl and there is no baking involved. Another reason protein balls are so great is that you don’t need many ingredients and you can get creative with you flavors. I just got this yummy cookies & cream protein powder and thought a cookies and cream version of my Cookie Dough Protein Balls would be a perfect use for it. I normally have all the ingredients to make a batch on hand this time I only had to buy some Oreo’s which are accidentally vegan ingredient wise, although production could come in contact with products containing milk. If that is something that worries you just find a different sandwich cookie or use chocolate chips. These Cookies & Cream Protein Balls can serve many purposes from being an on the go snack, packed in your lunch, pre or post workout protein or even a late night chocolatey treat. No matter when you eat them they are a healthier option than traditional cookies or dessert.
